INVESTIGATION #2 DETERMINATION OF THE WATER OF CRYSTALLISATION April 4‚ 2012 OBJECTIVE: Chemical compounds that contain discrete water molecules as part of their crystalline structure are called hydrates. Hydrates occur quite commonly among chemical substances‚ especially among ionic substances. More often than not‚ such compounds are either prepared in‚ or are recrystallized from‚ aqueous solutions. Hydrates exist for ionic compounds most commonly‚ but hydrates of polar and non polar covalent molecules

Slovin’s Formula Sampling Techniques * By Steph Ellen‚ eHow Contributor * When it is not possible to study an entire population (such as the population of the United States)‚ a smaller sample is taken using a random sampling technique. Slovin’s formula allows a researcher to sample the population with a desired degree of accuracy. It gives the researcher an idea of how large his sample size needs to be to ensure a reasonable accuracy of results. * When to Use Slovin’s Formula * If

Kristen Magliola 9/9/13 BIO: 414L Lab Report: SOC Medium I. Purpose: To make liquid and solid media for microbial growth II. Background: There are four different types of media used to grow microbes. They consist of Enriched media‚ Nutrient media‚ Selective media‚ and differential media. Enriched media is a growth media supplemented with complex biological molecules. This type of media is used for blood‚ coagulated blood‚ amino acids‚ etc. Nutrient media provides nutrients necessary

study Determine sample size ▪ Slovin Formula: ▪ n = N__ ▪ 1+NE² ▪ Where: n = sample size ▪ N = population size E = margin of error * desired Example: What should be the representative sample size if the population from which the sample will be taken is 10‚000 and the desired margin of error is 2%? Solution: To determine the sample size‚ use the formula; n = ___N__ 1+NE² n = 10‚000

prevent buckling if the temperature range is -30Cº to +50Cº? I know I use the formula: L = LoT L = ? (Change in length of the slabs. We are solving for this.) = 12e-6 (Coefficient of expansion. I looked it up on page 388.) Lo = 14 m (Initial length of slabs.) T = 30 Cº (50Cº - 20Cº) (Change in temperaure. You only care about the hottest number since you are dealing with expansion.) I then had the formula: L = e14 m 30Cº L = .00504 m L = .50 cm The space between

Title: Formula of a Hydrate. Objective: Determining the percentage of water and the chemical formula of a hydrate. Background: Water has a polar structure and it has positively and negatively charged parts within each molecule. This gives it a strong attraction toward ions. The ions in some salts attract and form strong bonds with water molecules. These salts‚ when they have absorbed water‚ are called hydrates. Anhydrous salts are salts that can form hydrates but which have had all the water

Experiment 3: Cryoscopic Determination of Molecular Weight Aim: The primary objective of the experiment is to calculate the total molecular mass of the compound benzoic acid in a predetermined amount of cyclohexane. Introduction: One of the key concepts in this experiment is the term freezing point depression. The definition of this phrase is that when a solute is dissolved into a solvent‚ their collective boiling point will be less than that of the original boiling point of the solvent. This incidentally

Lab 1 : Scientific Method 20 Table 2: Water quality vs. fish population 1. Based on the information in Table 2‚ (in the lab manual) what patterns do you observe? 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would
